Pantheism

• We believe that the gods/goddesses are immersed in and inseparable from nature
• We believe that to know yourself is to know the divine, as each person carries within them the seed of the divine
• We believe the gods/goddesses are a universal energy that connects all living things and has been known by many names. We refer to it as the Divine
• We believe there is a sacred pattern to the natural world which we interpret as the gods and goddesses

Polytheism

• We believe in many gods and goddesses
• We believe all of these gods and goddesses can be seen in one or more archetypes (independence, order, inspiration, chaos, and wisdom)
• We strive to keep a balance of these in our worship of the gods
• Although at this time all of our groves are currently following the Hellenic (Greek) pantheon, we believe that any pantheon of gods can fit into Spira's beliefs
• We believe in the divine feminine as equal to the divine masculine
• We don't believe that the gods are purely 'good' or 'evil'. Instead each can range the full spectrum between light and dark.

Syncretism

• We believe that the gods and goddesses are known by different names and identities throughout different cultures of the world.
• We believe that each culture interprets any particular god in their own way. We seek to know the god or goddess behind these cultural masks.
• We honour each culture and their interpretations of the gods and goddesses as each culture brings about more enlightenment about the underlying gods and goddesses

Balance and Equality

• We believe in balance and equality in masculine and feminine energy
• We believe in balance between the energies of the five archetypal categories: Independence, Order, Inspiration, Chaos, Wisdom
• We believe that there are universal truths and rights in the world
• We believe that ours is simply one path of many to enlightenment
• We believe that all sexual orientations are equal and that homosexual marriage should be a right and privilege equal to heterosexual marriage
• We believe that there are many ways of being, many types of love, many types of relationships, and many ways of seeing the world. None of these should be put down or dismissed simply because they are different.

Nature

• We believe that the natural world is sacred
• We seek to attune ourselves to the natural cycles of nature (Solar, Lunar, Life, etc)
• We seek to honour these cycles through ritual and celebration
• We seek to live in harmony with the natural world
• We seek to protect the nature world from harm
• We believe in the rights of animals to a torture free life
• We believe that each person/soul has one or more animal spirits that they resonate with. We call this a Soul Totem.
• We utilize the word Totem for its broad usage worldwide, but we recognize that the concept of an animal guide is global and called by different names around the world.
• We believe that study of ones Totem(s) helps us gain insight and acceptance of ourselves and ultimately brings us closer with nature and the gods
• We believe that during our lives, different helper and message totems may manifest themselves to communicate messages or enlightenment. We should strive to remain open to these messages and integrate them into our lives

Science

• We believe in science. Nature is sacred to us and science is simply the language of nature.
• We may be the only spiritual path that is not at odds with science.
• We believe that science does not need to be at odds with spirituality and religion, in fact it can enhance it. With each new scientific discovery, new doors open to spiritual enlightenment.
• We believe that spirituality is wonder and theory that fills the void and gaps that science cannot explain.
• Spirituality should be adapted such that spiritual ideas that conflict with known scientific facts should be dropped, while new spiritual ideas can evolve out of new scientific discoveries.

The Soul/Spirit

• We believe the soul is that part of you that transcends the material body and is with you over many lifetimes
• We believe that the soul reincarnates into a new body throughout lifetimes
• We believe that the soul can reincarnate in many forms (Human, Animal, etc)
• We believe the soul can merge with other souls between lifetimes
• We believe the soul can split into many souls between lifetimes
• We believe the reason for reincarnation is to achieve a greater spiritual enlightenment and that is the nature of the soul/spirit
• We believe the soul/spirit retains knowledge of past lives and this knowledge may or may not be readily accessible to the conscious mind
• We believe the knowledge that we have gained through reincarnation and personal development may manifest itself as personal gifts that we should respect, develop and refine

Morality

• We do not condone any illegal activity as per Canadian Law
• Some moral codes transcend culture and time and universal to the human condition
• We follow a strong moral code called "The Spiric Nine" which consists of 9 basic rules for living which are as follows
  1. Respect
  2. Do not Steal
  3. Do not Harm
  4. Be Honorable
  5. Practice Tolerance and Understanding
  6. Smiles and Laughter
  7. Perform Good Deeds
